Now he is set to be released and move into a residential community north of Los Angeles by the first week of July in spite of a host of vocal protests.

Neighbors there say they are angry, afraid and fighting to keep him out.

Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Gilbert Brown issued a brief order saying that Hubbart, 63, must be released by July 7, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a statement.

With several severe restrictions that include 24-hour GPS monitoring, Hubbart will be allowed to rent a small house in a remote area in Lake Los Angeles, near the city of Palmdale.

Hubbart has acknowledged raping and assaulting about 40 women between 1971 and 1982, when he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

He was paroled in 1990, but arrested in a new attack just two months later and returned to prison until 1996.

When his term ended, he was deemed a sexually violent predator and confined to a state mental hospital. Doctors at the hospital recently concluded he was fit for release, but few options were available.

The court systems have failed and obviously the soon to be neighbors are in uproar.

You have 2 choices: move or live in fear.

Yet another reason to get involved in local politics. The people that you choose to lead, have a big say in the environment you live in.

well if I were living in California which I never would but anyway, I would arm myself and the first time this bastard approached you I would shoot to kill. why take the chance of being raped, you cant count on the courts to help you; and he should of had the chair in the first place. get rid of his worthless hide. and if people think this is too inhumane or not politically correct well tuff shit… I don’t care, getting tired of the criminals winning and their pray being victimized all the time.

Well, I’m not surprisedâ€¦its in Californiaâ€¦.we have a governor, JERRY BROWN, who has been thinning out the prisons here, for the last 3 years, in record numbers. THIS IS A GOVERNOR WHO IS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION THIS NOVEMBER!!!! He claims its the FEDS who are forcing him to release these prisoners. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! I did NOT VOTE FOR THIS POSâ€¦this is why we must all arm ourselves, and NEVER NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE OUR GUNSâ€¦.they are needed, more than EVER, as the state of California, continues its spiral down into the cesspool. WIth the politicians we have here, its no wonder this state is such a joke and now, a fright. STAY ARMEDâ€¦..PROTECT YOURSELVES and GO VOTE THESE SOCIALIST LEADERS OUT OF OUR STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS..THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY DESTROYING US ALLâ€¦.WAKE UP!!
